The leader of the Colombian drug cartel “Cali” Hilberto Rodriguez Orejuela has died in an American prison. He and his brother Miguel managed all drug trafficking from Colombia to the Americans after the death of Medellin cartel leader Pablo Escobar.

Oruhea, nicknamed the Chess Player, was in prison in Butler, North Carolina. He was extradited from Colombia in 2004, and his brother a year later.
